FEBRUARY: A FULL LOAD OF LOVE ON THE ALTOPIANO DEL SOLE

February, the month par excellence dedicated to love, has arrived on the Altopiano del Sole.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and legions of lovers are already looking for the perfect gift to give their soul mate as a sign of renewed and possibly eternal love.

Roses, flowers and chocolates are the undisputed stars of this period, but an equally popular option for celebrating this occasion is to dedicate a special day to yourself, perhaps immersed in the breathtaking beauty of nature.

The Altopiano del Sole area offers numerous opportunities to admire the beautiful alpine landscapes and is the ideal destination for organizing a trip that will truly leave you speechless.

In this article we discover together the most romantic places where you can spend your Valentine’s Day on the Altopiano del Sole.

BELVEDERE DELL’ANNUNCIATA

Annunciata is a hamlet of Piancogno that stands on a large terrace on the mountain slope to the right of the Oglio River, and in addition to being renowned for the presence of the convent of the same name, it offers a truly spectacular view that sweeps from Pizzo Camino to Lake Iseo.

If you decide to go to this evocative setting to celebrate your love, you will have the opportunity to visit the monastery and its church, the park of rock art and the fabulous landscape from the “Belvedere” or from the swing at the “Predulí” location, where you can experience the thrill of swinging suspended in the air.

From here you can enjoy the view of scenery infused with the hues of sunset, as a worthy conclusion to a trip to the Altopiano del Sole.

LOZIO BIG BENCH

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to visit Lozio, a small village that hides countless treasures all waiting to be discovered.

At “Dos de l’Ora,” along the Mecca lane that leads from Laveno to the former Quarry of the same name, stands the Big Bench, near the picnic area.

Legend has it that the name “Dos de l’Ora” derives from the presence of a small hillock reached by the breeze from Lake Iseo and where, in times long past, the local shepherds would gather in the long evenings to contemplate the valley floor while waiting for news whispered by the wind.

From here it is possible to admire the landscape and unspoiled nature of the Lozio Valley, waiting for those gusts of wind that only the “hour” can bring.

Our advice is to visit this location on a sunny day: bring everything you need for a romantic outdoor snack and enjoy the view from the top of the big bench, enveloped in the charm of the past and the wonder of an unparalleled territory.

LITTLE CHURCH OF SAINTS NAZARO AND CELSO: A CORNER OF ANGOLO TO DISCOVER

If you find yourself near Angolo Terme, a visit to the Chiesetta dei Santi Nazaro e Celso, located in the hamlet of Anfurro, is not to be missed.

This building stands on a unique terrace, from which you can gaze from the top of the Adamello to Lake Iseo.

The little church is connected to Lake Moro via a path that can be followed on foot, making it a prime destination for hiking lovers in search of breathtaking views.

SUMMIT DAY ON THE SKI SLOPES OF THE ALTOPIANO DEL SOLE

Finally, if you plan to spend your Valentine’s Day immersed in the snow, we recommend a trip to the Altopiano del Sole ski resort.

The summit of Mount Altissimo is not only the arrival point of the lifts, but also an extraordinary lens from which to observe the beauty of the surrounding areas.

Admiring the setting of the sun from this height,warmed by the warmth of something hot, is possible for everyone: in fact, it is not necessary to know how to ski in order to reach and descend from the summit, which is why you can choose whether to be escorted by the chairlift, let your skis run or prefer to follow the tracks of ski alpers.

Whatever you decide, the fun and unique excitement of a day at the top is assured!
